The Excavation of Hob's Barrow
介绍
Antiquarian Thomasina Bateman is writing a book on the barrows of England, documenting the treasures she finds buried within. When an intriguing letter summons her to the small village of Bewlay, tucked away in the remote countryside, she sets off by train with her assistant a day behind.
Upon her arrival, however, the mysterious man who summoned her is nowhere to be found. Her assistant never arrives. A stubborn landowner refuses access to the barrow, and the locals are wary of this woman who is traveling alone and (gasp!) wears trousers.
The excavation of Hob’s Barrow is off to a rocky start. And then Thomasina starts having strange dreams…
- A dark, complex and evolving storyline featuring interwoven elements from real English folklore.
- Traditional point and click adventure game puzzles and interactions, with an easy modern interface.
- A cast of intriguing characters, from suspicious villagers to sickly vicars to lordly landowners, all with their own unique stories and motives.
- A distinct folk horror tone and grounding.
- Evocative pixel-art graphics, featuring cut-scenes and engaging animations.
- A suitably atmospheric original soundtrack from The Machine. The Demon. - one half of the duo behind the award-winning "Football Game" soundtrack.
- Fiends in the furrows, the smell of damp soil, and a cat or two.

Hob's Barrow is a game that refuses to leave your brain until the whole thing is untangled.

78/100
A splendid adventure that's well paced, excellently voiced, and doesn't outstay its welcome.

8.5/10
The Excavation of Hob's Barrow is a fantastically spooky mystery for those looking for some point and click horror with solid puzzles, but it unfortunately doesn't quite nail the ending.

Blackwell it ain't...
It might be age or regeneration, it just doesn't feel the same anymore. The "Point & Click Adventures" of Wadget Eye Games have always been my favourite type of games. I experienced crazy, scary, funny and/or sad moments while playing the Complete Blackwell Bundle, Gemini Rue, Shardlight, Technobabylon, Shivah,.. One by one masterpieces in my opinion. When Unavowed came out, I felt the first loss of nostalgia. It was still nice to play but the "magic" was a bit lacking. Still it had great mystery in a eery fantasy setting. In Hob's Barrow I just don't feel any magic at all. It still plays like the Good Old Point & Click but it feels as wrapped up rather fast and easy. Besides my own nostalgia issues, while most characters from the past had their own crazy/funny/smart personalities, they always made me feel as characters in a game-world. They would adopt habits from the real world but at the same time have abilities that would only be possible in a game. After all that's why I like to play games, to enter another world. Miss Thomasina (?) just doesn't have it... In my opinion she isn't a likable person. She could be your real-life neighbour though, the seriousness of her life/past are too much "taken from real life". I really don't care that her father had an accident that made him as a plant who has to be fed with a spoon 3 times a day because he can't stop himself from drooling on himself. WTF, yes I know that these unfortunate tragedies exists but I didn't choose to watch a reality TV show... This type of pulling your heart-string ain't what it used to be. And I can handle a lot. Maybe it's my age or maybe it's the fact that Miss Thomasina is this happy free-of-man woman who doesn't need a male in her life because she is the strong type of woman which her late father told her she could be. Almost sounds like a Zegler-brat. Oh, and she isn't in the mood to carry a piece of lumber through the city, but a stolen box her size ain't a problem at all.. Weird Weird

What can I say.. mid tier
What can I say about Hob's Barrow.. It's not a bad standard P&C adventure game but it's pretty bland. They appear to go for a horror feel but don't really have much there. There is some attempt to build up some great horror but it's very understated and most of it doesn't go anywhere. The Last act... sigh.. I kinda felt it would have been better if it wasn't the last act but the one before last, because there is soo much that appears missing. some stuff which appears like it might be an important clue (like the disappearing A.T. Stone, Main character's Mothers re-action to events 25 years ago) aren't explored at all, some things appear to happen which for some reason, no-one else appears to notice (spoiler: not noticing a blood exploded body a few yards steps) why some people were so reluctant to talk about some subjects when you later find out they had no reason and it didn't do anything.. We also have the issue of a kinda dumb player character. Pretty sure even causal players would put two and two together LONG before the main character does (you see a rich dressed guy bossing some labourers around on private land, and you don't think he is in some way related to the then unseen lord of the manor? mm.. we also have stuff seemingly completed overnight which doesn't make sense and some more set up of characters which are hinted to be something important but have no pay off at all. Puzzles are mostly fine though mostly simple fetch quests, acting is good though... being English from a sub-urban area.. I have to say they come off as someone's attempted to get the stereotypical feel of an area more then being correct with some odd pronouncing of words and weird word choices, though most of it is standard though a bit bland. If this game is on discount, it's fine. But while some aren't completely blank stereotypes, there isn't too much over that and way too much of the story is just left unexplained. I'm really not a person who wants every little thing wrapped up in a nice little package but when you spend some time setting up and hinting at stuff, I would expect that to fit into the story somehow and.. often it doesn't. There is also a problem in the basic narrative of being hand held through the whole game and the over top narration of the main character from the future trying to give foreshadow and building a sense that something is gonna happen.. but it kinda doesn't and the amount of narration just highlights this. Graphics are fine but suffer from 'trying to be retro but with modern graphic abilities' so it's a mixed bag in places with scaling issues which would be noticeable from people who either lived through the old days, or have experience with graphic abilities. All in all, a pretty good game if cheap (Ideally, around £5 mark, but up to around £10 is probably fine) but you will be left with the feeling that an act has been removed or set up for a sequel which seams unlikely.

Too sinister
The ending is unexpectedly sinister and depressive compared to what the game presents itself to be. It really spoils all the fun from the playable part.

It is a well-made game, but only 2 stars
The game is well-made, amazing atmosphere, characters, art and voicework, controls are good, a lot of quality of life (such as quick movement, fast travel and journal), mostly logical, not too convoluted situations to solve. Two stars because the only ending is a downer ending thanks to the character behaving as a complete idiot and ignoring every red flag on the last day. I had absolute displeasure finishing this game and seeing the story through. What a letdown.
